Soldiers don't cheer after victory?

**Apkairan** · July 17, 2007, 07:08 PM

I remember seeing soldiers cheer when they conquered the town in medieval 2 total war.

In Rome total war , somehow the soldiers don't cheer when they achieve victory. Is this normal?

They occasionally cheered after a victory. But normally they do not.

Cordially, Lord Romaus III

Cheering is the norm in my experience with RTW.

Soldiers, cavalry in particular, can also celebrate during a battle. Quite often Ive asked a unit to move after they have beaten an enemy unit only to find they delay as they are too busy celebrating.

I'm not sure about this, but think that only selected units will cheer, so try presing ctrl+a just before battle ends (but as i said, not sure, but still, try it)

My experience says units will cheer after completely wiping out an enemy, and some barbarian units will taunt after a warcry or when the enemy is nearby. Some barbarian warriors can also delay their charge just to taunt, thus getting behind the rest of their unit.

I really think they only cheer when the complete annihilated a enemy that's why most of my soldiers cheer at a siege because most of the time i completely wipe out the enemy..

yes i agree to this because this also has recntly happened to me and they usually dont celebrate.

some units in mods dont cheer, due to new combat animations and models

I have the original version of rome total war and the soldiers don't cheer no matter what.

Which desc file should i edit to enable cheering?

I think you canot change cheering in descr files but you can mod the game.

I've always wondered about this too. Sometimes my guys will cheer - sometimes they won't. I wonder if the criteria for a celebration is random or not.
